This is really helpful for people experiencing feelings of anxiety. This is almost a replica of my approach to speaking with people about it, just that Mel Robbinā€™s does it here very clearly and purposefully.

Prue was recently teaching at a weekend osteopathy seminar to other Osteopaths here in Melbourne.

This is what one of the attending osteopaths had to say.

Continue professional Development is something we at BFOSC recognise as an important part of being an osteopath as remaining up to date and striving to continue learning is important for delivering our best to our patients.

Holly and Lauren were extremely grateful to undertake 3 day course over the weekend called the Rule of the Artery.

This course involves the investigation of the heart and vasculature and the fluid dynamics of the blood. The course also explore the link between the heart, autonomic nervous system and so much more.

Both Holly and Lauren have come back into the clinic even more knowledgeable and high on incredible energy delivered by the amazing faculty that represent to us. Thank you so much Dr Maxwell, Dr Prue Eddie and the rest of the amazing ARCOM faculty.

Did you know that your Osteopath can assess muscle strain and tension around your eyes šŸ‘€ ?

This can be linked in with issues such as headache or migraine, eye fatigue or even neck or jaw tension, vertigo or other balance or visual issues.

It can feel a little unusual having your practitioner place their fingers gently around your eyes socket or even the globe of the eye (with your eyes closed).

But usually my patients tell me they find it quite comfortable and many say itā€™s quite relaxing šŸ˜Ž

Sometimes I give people home based exercises specifically for their eyes, including eye tracking, stretching or exercises that influence body positioning and reflexes that involve the eyes.

Eye and neck tension often go together, so if this sounds like something you experience or canā€™t get on top of your neck tension, it may be worth someone assessing your eye muscle tension in conjunction with your neck position, posture and muscle tightness.

As someone who experiences migraines, I understand the challenge of untangling the mystery of migraine triggers.

They often occur concurrently, rather than one at a time, which is why it can be tricky to figure out.

Essentially migraines are often the result of multiple small triggers stacking together until the brain tips into attack mode.

I find many patients put it down to food triggers such as cheese, chocolate or msg, but the reality is thereā€™s much more happening underneath.

Some of the most misunderstood are:

Gut health & microbiome changes: šŸ„¦
ā€¢ Eye strain & vision problems šŸ‘€
ā€¢ Too much or irregular sleep šŸ’¤
ā€¢ Breathing mechanics & stress breathing šŸŒ¬
ā€¢ Subtle dietary factors (timing, hydration, additives) šŸ„¤
ā€¢ Hormonal fluctuations (beyond just menstrual) šŸ”
ā€¢ Neck & jaw tension šŸ’†ā€ā™€ļø
ā€¢ Sensory overload (light, sound, smell, weather) ā›ˆ

Last week felt a little more challenging than most, as I was working while having a migraine from Tuesday until Friday.

Thankfully they donā€™t happen often and a lot of the time I experience migraines without a headache.

Yes you read that right!

Migraines are not just a bad headache, theyā€™re a complex neurological complaint and may occur with or without pain.

People can get all kinds of symptoms such as:

šŸ˜‡Flashing lights in the eyes, or seeing halos
šŸ˜³ Numbness or tingling in face, arms or elsewhere
šŸ˜“ Feel extra sleepy
šŸ¤¢ Nausea or vomiting
šŸ„± Use incorrect words or canā€™t think of the word you want
šŸ˜¢More emotional than usual
šŸ•·Feel like you have creepy crawlies on you
šŸ„ Foods taste funny, for me everything tends to smell and taste like mushrooms!
šŸ’„ Noise and light sensitivity

Now if you havenā€™t been diagnosed with a migraine previously, or if you have and these are not your usual symptoms, you do need to be seen by a health professional asap.

You may have recognised that lots of these symptoms can also occur with a stroke and yes this needs to be checked out fast.

In my case, Iā€™ve previously seen a Neurologist and had brain scans to rule out the nasty things and these symptoms are within my normal range so I didnā€™t need to go and do it again.

Thankfully, I have osteo colleagues who helped look after me and gave me a treatment. I do find that when Iā€™m taking good care of myself and with support itā€™s very rare that I need to take time out or get stuck in bed with a migraine.

Did you know kids can get tension headaches?

Theyā€™re common and can be under recognised.

Just like in adults, they can be related to or triggered byā€¦

1. Stress and anxiety
2. Muscle tension
3. Dehydration
4. Lack of sleep
5. Eye strain
6. Teeth grinding
7. Dietary factors, such as consuming caffeine

Even though headaches are common, doesnā€™t mean itā€™s normal.

Itā€™s time to seek assistance from a health professional ifā€¦.

šŸ¤Ø Headaches are severe, frequent or persistent
šŸ˜“ Headaches are interfering with sleep, school or other daily activities
šŸ˜¢ Thereā€™s a family history of headaches or other neurological problems
šŸ„µ Headaches are accompanied by fever, vomiting, vision changes or seizure (see your doctor asap)

Our Osteopaths are experienced in treating kids and teens with headaches and related concerns.

If you need any assistance, please donā€™t hesitate to get in touch

Dear microplasticsā€¦ itā€™s not me, itā€™s you. šŸ’”
Iā€™ve decided we need some distanceā€”like, a lot of distance.

So far Iā€™ve:
šŸŒ± Ditched cling wrap for plant-based wrap
šŸµ Swapped tea bags for loose leaves in a cute metal strainer
šŸ”„ Said goodbye to reheating in plastic containers

Next on my hit list:
šŸ³ Retiring my dodgy old non-stick pans for trusty cast iron
šŸ‘• Wearing more natural fibres
šŸ“¦ Only buying products with packaging that actually disappears

Itā€™s not perfect, but itā€™s progress. šŸ’ŖāœØ

šŸ¼ Microplastics in babies?

Theyā€™ve been found in newbornsā€™ first poo, in human blood, lungs, and even the placenta.

We still donā€™t fully know the health risksā€”but early research suggests babies and kids could be more vulnerable than adults.

Our new blog explains:

āœØ What microplastics are
āœØ Where theyā€™re hiding in your daily life
āœØEasy ways to cut down exposure
